INFO:

One of the greatest legends in Romanian football history. Dinu was midfielder and sweeper. Cornel Dinu placed, his virility and impregnable technical-tactical intelligence, but also his brawny chest, in the path of the attackers towards his own goal. Very elegant player with trademark long diagonal 40 meters passes. In a period when Romanian teams relied, tactically, on the insistent reduplication of short passes, meant to ensure as long as possible possession of the ball (a reflex of fear of the opponent), as a player, Cornel Dinu fundamentally and radically innovated the expression of local football, imposing the 40-meter long English pass that eliminated the dead times consumed with the mioritic “don’t know it, give it to me” and gave the game verticality, penetration, dynamism and efficiency. Very skillful on the ball, dribbling effective on tight space and even scoring. Dinu began playing football in his home town of Targoviste in Metalul. Even at age 18 he moved to a Romanian top club and joined Dinamo Bucharest, where he remained until the end of his career in 1983 faithful. His debut in the Divizia A for Dinamo, he was on 25 September 1966 against Steagul Roşu Braşov. With Dinamo Romanian Dinu was six times champion and twice winner of Romanian Cup. He played for the club 33 European Cup games in which he scored three goals. He completed a law degree already earned him the nickname during his active career Procurorul.

Since seven of those games where he scored two goals, as part of the Olympic Games were held, they were in 1999 by FIFA subsequently removed from the country play balance of Romania, so that the corrected record now reads 68 games and 5 goals. After his retirement in 1983, Dinu was first assistant coach of Dinamo Bucharest. In September 1984 he took over the team as head coach, was in April 1985 but was dismissed again.

Was at risk as the goal of qualifying for the FIFA World Cup 1994, he was already in the summer of 1993 replaced Anghel Iordanescu, who secured qualification. He then worked as a manager for FC Naţional Bucharest returned, but in 1996 returned to Dinamo Bucharest and took over the presidency.
